"Wow~!"
(?˙o˙?)
"Uncle Green Swordsman, you are so powerful. He almost had you hacked to death!!"
(*??????)?
It's just a little bit close, which is a pity...
Little Annie secretly sighed in her heart. She didn't know whether she was lamenting the defeat of a certain "Green Swordsman" uncle, or regretting that a certain archmage was not hacked to death with a sword?
Or, both?
(…)
?;¬д¬?
The battle is long over now...
Then, the three of them naturally left the messy battlefield that was still burning under the magic flames and the smoke was billowing, and directly let Little Annie transfer to this relatively distant place with a teleportation spell, so far away that even a certain Even if a seriously injured archmage sleeps unprepared, he doesn't have to worry about being retaliated by the tree spirits in his sleep. For example, being strangled to death by tree vines?
…
Dramatically, a troubled little girl stood aside for a long time and allowed a wonderful life-and-death battle of spells and swordsmanship to break out between the wandering Archmage Ryze and the Infinite Sword Master Green Swordsman. Later, when she was still hesitating whether to help one of the two, the battle ended quickly, and it ended with the victory of a cunning old mage?
then,
She was making a private bet with her little bear, and was about to discuss how a certain ruthless old guy would deal with the captured 'Green Swordsman', whether to question him first and then give him a beating, or to give him a beating first. When I go to ask questions again...
A certain petty old man, the wandering mage who had shamelessly chased her half a planet for a piece of rock not long ago, actually let the 'Green Swordsman' go so easily?
Then,
Not only did the two of them stop fighting now, but they also looked at each other as if they were good brothers. The old man didn't even think about the fact that the other party stabbed him firmly, and even almost chopped him to death several times. Don't want to pursue it?
If this happened to Little Annie, even if she directly set fire to the Green Swordsman, she would still continue to hate him for a full hundred years! !
"..."
"Hello, Annie..."
"I am not a 'Green Swordsman', although my long sword is indeed green... But I seem to have introduced this matter just now. My name is 'Yi', the sword master of the Wuji Sword Sect 'Yi' !”
Sword Master Yi proudly reiterated to the little girl Annie.
"'Green Swordsman' doesn't sound very nice. You might as well call me Uncle Yi or Uncle Sword Master..."
The Infinite Sword Master Yi was very dissatisfied with the strange nickname that a little girl randomly assigned to him, so he fiddled with and smashed the herbs in his hand while patiently responding to that curious nickname. Exuberantly, the little girl who was coming over to watch explained in detail.
Although, his age is not as young as he appears...
"oh!!"
o(⊙?⊙)o
"So, Green Swordsman Uncle Yi, what are these smelly grass roots and leaves in your hand for? Aren't they for eating?!"
??(°ー°〃)
In fact, Annie thinks, 'Green Swordsman' sounds much better than 'The Infinite Sword Master' or something like that!
Also, if today’s lunch is really about eating the food in front of you, then Anne can swear that she will not eat it, and she will stay far away from the other person, and she will never follow these eating habits that are different from ordinary people. , guys who even dared to eat rotten grass that smelled so bad came together.
"eat?"
"No...no no no, we don't need to eat them, they are not for eating..."
After hearing the little girl's cute words and looking at the green objects in the pottery bowl in his hand that had been mashed into a paste, Master Yi quickly shook his head in confusion.
Then, he tried his best to drag his tired body and respectfully walked to the front of the wandering archmage Ryze, who was sitting on a relatively flat stone with a terrible wound on his chest that had begun to clot and stop bleeding on its own. in front of.
"Arch Mage Ryze..."
"Please apply this. This is a gold sore medicine that is widely spread here in Ionia and is also very effective... It is mainly used to treat injuries caused by swords and axes, and broken objects from falls... Moreover, it is also a magic potion. It has strong magical properties and can speed up the healing of wounds!"
"Your wound will scab and fall off on its own by tomorrow morning at the latest..."
Originally, the medicinal properties of this herb could be better. In other places, it might only take half a night to completely heal the opponent's knife wound?
but,
Due to the invasion and destruction by the Noxians and the bombing of the alchemy potions, their homeland has gradually undergone some subtle changes. Even the native magic has begun to be corroded and faded... so that, All the creatures here, especially the low plants, have less and less magic power, and their medicinal effects have also weakened a bit.
However, he doesn't want to mention this kind of thing now, and he doesn't want to think about it too much, because it's useless to think about it...
After all, the invasion and destruction of this land by those crazy Noxians, those invaders, and those evil heretics is permanent and irreversible... Just like their Wuji Village that was destroyed by the other side, No matter how much he, the sword master, tried to retaliate crazily on those Noxians, no matter how much he tried to attack their reconnaissance troops and transport teams when they were out, it would still be of no avail in the end.
Some things, once lost, can never be returned...
"Thank you! Sorry to trouble you..."
The wandering mage Ryze didn't say much, nor did he have any doubts. He just sat quietly in his seat and allowed the other party to put the magical herbs in the bowl to his chest. Apply it carefully on the wound.
Now that the misunderstanding between the two parties has been resolved, neither he nor the other party has any reason or necessity to continue fighting! Perhaps, this is the so-called 'no fight, no acquaintance'? In short, after this battle triggered by a misunderstanding, Ryze unexpectedly got to know this incredible Sword Master Yi. Although he was a little injured, it was still a huge gain?
A close friend is, to a certain extent, more cost-effective than a dead enemy! Maybe, one day in the future, he, Ryze, can ask this powerful sword master to help him when he needs it?
Of course, this is just his personal idea, just a last-minute preparation, and may not really be used by the other party in the future.
"Oh, it turns out it's not for food..."
(lll¬ω¬)
When I got closer, I was curious to see that Green Swordsman Uncle Yi applied those sticky and dirty disgusting herbs to that bad old man Ryze, and even applied them to the point where he kept grinning and looked very unhappy...
So, after struggling for a while, Annie finally couldn't help it and couldn't stand it anymore.
"Hello!"
o(>▽<)o
"Grandpa Ryze, let me tell you, I can also have a powerful flame of life! Just use fire to burn your wound gently, and your wound will be healed immediately, and It doesn’t hurt at all! I promise, if you bake it well, it won’t burn you to death. Do you want to try it?!”
(????)?
Although she is not a magician like a priest or a paladin who specializes in cheating and treating other people's injuries, Queen Anne said that she is a super powerful arcane mage, even if she uses magic to It is possible to directly transform a living person and create life! So, of course, he must be very, very good at treating wounds and accelerating healing!
(???_??)?
Although…….
She has almost never given serious treatment to others. Maybe she is a little bit handicapped?
(^_?)☆
However, she dared to swear on herself...and on the name of her little bear Tibbers, that she would never kill anyone easily or make the treatment worse! Moreover, even if he was accidentally burned to death, she would pay for it! !
(…)
?lll¬?¬?
(Uncle Tibbers Bear doesn’t want to talk to some bad little master who swears on his name all day long...)
"!!"
"No! Thank you for your kindness...Annie, I feel very good now, very good...Really, don't you believe it? It was just a little stinging at the beginning, but now it has become cool and feels very comfortable. I won’t bother you to take action…”
Hearing that the little girl wanted to use fire magic to treat herself, the wandering mage Ryze was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hands to refuse and stopped the other party with a righteous word. He even stood up directly, indicating that he was getting better and there was no need. More treatments.
The flame of life or something, although there may indeed be something alternative like that...
However, Ryze is a living person, not a magic or flame creature, nor is he the shadow flame bear in the little girl's hand... Therefore, he does not believe that the so-called life flame can also work on him. , and even more afraid to try it easily!
"No!"
?(?*д*?)?
"My fire magic is really powerful. I promise, as long as it burns you, you will be healed immediately. You will be restored to full health and mana in place, so you don't have to wait until tomorrow morning!!"
?(ψ??ˇ??)??
Seeing the unbelieving and skeptical look on the other party's face, Anne was so angry that she quickly stretched out her hand and summoned a ball of purifying life flames exuding hot energy in her palm. Then, like a treasure, she reached out to the The stubborn Ryze attacked the old man and the green swordsman Uncle Yi who came over curiously.
This kind of life flame of hers is a good treasure. Whether it is creating flame elemental life or making flame Transformers, guys like Megatron and Optimus Prime are all created by improving this kind of life flame.
If it were an ordinary person, Queen Anne would not have the chance to help with treatment! And this bad old man Ritz in front of him actually dared to dislike her?
She promised that as long as it was burned, the other party would fall in love with this magical flame of life. Moreover, she also dared to guarantee that there would not be too many side effects, just a little at most?
"..."
"No! No, thank you!"
"After Master Yi gave me the medicine, I feel like I'm in very good shape now, better than ever... It's really a magical potion, very magical!"
"When I leave Ionia, I will definitely bring some spares..."
After seeing the strange flame in the little girl's hand that was exuding terrifying hot energy and seemed to be able to directly burn even steel, Ryze quickly waved his hands and took a few steps back, indicating that he had obtained the Sword Master. After taking the herbal medicine provided, I no longer have any problems at all! He can walk and run now, eats deliciously, and does not need any additional extra treatment at all, especially the so-called flame of life in the hands of a little girl?
Therefore, Ryze swore that for the safety of the world and the stability of Runeterra, he would definitely not let that weird flame directly come into contact with any part of his body, absolutely not! !
"Um……"
(ー`′ー)
"Hmph! Don't pull me down, I don't want to give you any more now! You, a bad old man, deserve to be stabbed for nothing by someone else. It's better to wait until it hurts you to death!!"
o(′^`)o
It's really abominable...
Seeing that the other party dared to refuse her Lady Queen Anne's kindness, Anne angrily grabbed and extinguished the life flame in her hand that could definitely heal any creature's injuries, and then turned around with some broken thoughts and curses. , leaving only a cute back of the head for the two adults looking at each other.
Now, she doesn't want to talk to those annoying guys who don't believe in her Queen Anne's strength! !
"..."
Although Master Shengyi, the last sword of the Wuji Sword Sect, really wanted to say to this new friend Ryze in front of him:
That kind of herb, they can't actually take it away... because it must be picked fresh to have the analgesic effect and the magical power to heal wounds quickly?
but,
After seeing the strange atmosphere between the two people, one big and one small, not quite like friends or family, Master Yi, who was a little unsure, did not dare to say anything casually, but just said something in a coquettish way. Standing aside awkwardly.
Although he was defeated by the Archmage Lord Ryze, he has almost recovered now. Apart from the excessive consumption of his physical and mental energy, he actually did not suffer too much damage. Most of them were just superficial injuries, which were completely incomparable to the old mage in front of him who was almost hacked to death by him.
but……
Remembering that he had launched a fatal attack on an elder based on his own imagination, this made him feel very guilty, and also made him see the shortcomings of his own state of mind... Perhaps, the demise of Wuji Village had brought him Came some indelible impact?
If that's the case, he will have to practice meditation after a while. What he needs is not only physical and technical training, but more importantly, mental and will training. aspect!
"Well……"
After feeling that the place they were at was a little far away from the forest where they were fighting before, Ryze remembered what happened before and turned to look at a certain sword master who was still standing awkwardly aside.
"Master Yi, may I ask...where is this place in Ionia?"
Archmage Ryze, who no longer dared to argue with that ignorant little girl about the treatment plan of burning her wounds with flames, could only quickly talk about him and planned to change the topic to other aspects as soon as possible. Go up there and save him from having to have some little girl bring up that horrible treatment that terrified him later?
After all, now that they have fought and chatted, and the misunderstanding has been resolved, it is time to continue the task that they have not been able to complete before... They must speed up and find the Vasta as soon as possible. Only a woman from the Yahu tribe can do it, and it must be done as quickly as possible!
Therefore, their first task is to first figure out where this place is in Ionia, and then analyze and figure out where the target they have been pursuing for two days will go.
"..."
"here……"
"It's Balua in the Ionian Islands. In front of it is my hometown Wuji Village... However, there is no village anymore. All of them and everything here have been destroyed by the Noxian. The invasion was ruined."
After saying that, Yi Bian lowered his head sadly...
His hometown is now only in ruins...
And what’s even scarier is:
This land and the magic within it have been completely tainted by the alchemy machines launched by those cruel enemies... The originally beautiful and peaceful place has now begun to become gradually deserted, and the tide of magic is slowly receding. Everything he knew and loved was gone...
Presumably, in the near future, most of the areas south of Balua will become lifeless, right?
At that time, the angry and hungry forest and the tree spirits, after they cannot receive the support of magic power, will attack everything around them crazily, trying to obtain magic power from other places or from the material world. supply……
By then, it will definitely be another terrible disaster! !
Of course, it's obviously not that time yet. The remaining magic of this land will probably last for a long time, until the Ionians completely drive away the Noxians, or the Nok Until the Sarsians completely conquer them and then completely destroy the entire Ionia?
"cough……"
"Although it is a pity...but, Master Yi, please believe me. Those Noxians, the war they provoked against you is just a small fight. The real threat has not yet come..."
"Now there is something more terrifying before us. If we can't get rid of the threat quickly, it won't be as simple as your home being destroyed!"
After the previous explanation, Ryze has already explained to the other party that they are not the kind of dark wizards who cast evil spells, and that the murderer that the other party has been looking for to harm those unlucky people is also the target that he and Annie are looking for!
So, just now he carefully checked the battlefield between the two of them, and finally caused a misunderstanding?
However, now the battlefield has been destroyed by the fire caused by magic, and all the evidence and traces have been destroyed... It can be said that the clues they finally found were all burned out in one fell swoop. , they must reorganize their thoughts before they can determine the direction of the next search.
"The real threat? Archmage Ryze, please tell me, I'm listening!"
Hearing that the other party said it was so serious, the sword master did not dare to show any slightness. He quickly cheered up and dragged his tired body, preparing to understand what kind of threat was worthy of the other party being so cautious?
"This is actually what happened..."
"It starts with the World Rune Stone that was brought here from the Freljord continent... It was a terrifying thing, and it was also a relic and the culprit of the Rune War thousands of years ago... "
Anyway, the two of them had just fought, and both of them were already very tired, injured, and exhausted. They would definitely not be able to continue tracking the fox before sunrise tomorrow... So, Ruiz simply Then he told the sword master the whole story in detail.
Although this may waste a lot of time, if you can persuade the other party to help, it may be a big help?
"..."
(lll¬ω¬)
She noticed that the other party was looking at her intentionally or unintentionally while she was talking. Although Annie wanted to jump out and say that that kind of thing had nothing to do with her, but... considering that a certain old man was chopped by someone not long ago, She was afraid that the other party would be so angry that the wound would burst and die, so she didn't dare to jump out and say something like refuting and defending.
Anyway, she will definitely not be responsible for what happened to Miss Ah Li, because she herself was not expecting it!
At that time, she just wanted to lend the broken stone to the other person to see if it was rare. Who knew that it would go to the little sister's forehead and make a home? So, Annie knows nothing, and she really has nothing to do with that matter!
(…)
(● ̄(?) ̄●)
"..."
"A vastaya that looks like a fox? And...nine tails?!"
The sword master finally understood. It turned out that the culprit he had been trying to track down for the past two days could actually be such an existence?
"Archmage, I think I understand now..."
"I remember that I had heard about her deeds... the legendary terrifying nine-tailed monster that sucks people's lives and souls! She should have been hiding for many years. Could it be that she has come out to cause trouble again now? In the human world?"
"but……"
"I'm sorry, I couldn't meet her either... I heard the news about a hunter being attacked from over there, and I followed her all the way here. I also searched for her for two full days, until I met you... "
No wonder, he always felt that the appearance of those corpses seemed familiar...
It turns out that he had heard of similar things before?
I just couldn't remember it for a moment and thought it was caused by some evil spell. That's why after two days of hunting, when I saw the Archmage Ryze casting a spell to examine the corpse, he took it for granted and launched it brazenly. Inflicted the most fatal blow and want to directly kill the evil dark wizard?
But now, after hearing what the other party said, everything that happened before is finally fully understood.
"Well?"
"Wait a minute, Master Yi, you just said...where did you search from before?"
At this time, Ruiz seemed to have grasped a certain key. He first looked at the northwest direction. Before, he and Little Annie searched from there, and now, Master Yi came from the northeast direction. They followed all the way here...and this place is a large island called Baru'e...So, does that mean that the vastaya they are looking for, the nine-tailed demon fox, is probably in the south? !
After all, this island is not too big, and where he walked, he was sure that he did not sense the energy that belonged to the world's rune stones! Therefore, it is obvious that if the female fox had not traveled across the ocean, judging from the time, she was probably in the south!
"Yes, I did come from the northeast... I'm sorry, Master Ryze, I really misunderstood you at that time..."
Thinking about the brazen attack he launched without asking any questions, that kind of reckless behavior made the sword master have to lower his head in shame again.
"It doesn't matter!"
"Then it's probably certain. She probably went south...and the south is here, so where is this place!?"
Looking at the simplified map of Balua Island drawn by the sword master on the ground, Ryze quickly clicked on an area in the south and then drew a large circle.
If the nine-tailed demon fox is not in the northwest or northeast, then it can only be in the area to the south! Although the area is a bit large, if you search carefully, you can probably search it all in two or three days?
"..."
"That's the area occupied by the Noxians. It's dotted with military camps and fortresses built of steel and rock..."
Speaking of those Noxians, the Juggernaut couldn't help but clenched his fists tightly.
Now, the Noxian and Ionian resistance forces have entered a long-term military confrontation stage. Basically, as long as those crazy Noxians no longer come out from those occupied areas to invade them Io They will definitely not attack the Niyan homeland, and they will have no way to attack each other again...
At least, here in Baru'e, Wuji Sword Master Yi himself has no way to deal with the villains hiding in the fortress...
Even if he is as powerful as him, even if he can defeat thousands of troops with one man, he will only dare to attack isolated patrols, small-scale servants, and small military camps that are not well-defended... But once he confronts those with complete defenses , equipment and various crossbows and artillery, he was a little helpless.
————————
The southern bay area of Balua, this large flat bay and land is a colony of the Noxians. It is also one of the bridgehead bases they built when they invaded Ionia.
Back then, after knowing that the creatures here would cause huge interference to the invasion, the Noxian army burned the forests here, and spread the highly toxic alchemical potions over large areas of the land, making the originally lush This area has almost become a barren land...
Subsequently, the war masons of Noxus built countless fortresses in this area, military camps, Noxtra, and fortresses that could permanently occupy this land. It was with these buildings that Only in this way can the Noxians remain firmly rooted in this land in the most difficult moments. Even the Navoli resistance could not shake them in the slightest!
Those Noxtras built by war masons in front of the main road, the gates made of black stone dug out from the surrounding mountains, are clear proof that the Noxus Empire rules here!
They, the Noxians, have been asserting their claim to the south of Barua for many years...
However,
Today, for some unknown reason, the shriveled corpses of Noxian soldiers fell to the ground on both sides of the Noxtra gate, and the solid arch made of black stone was directly shattered. The ground was covered with the broken scarlet battle flag of Noxus, only a small corner was exposed between the broken eaves and broken walls?
What's even more puzzling is that in the distance, in the largest Noxian fortress camp, there is a lot of noise and chaos, and from time to time there are bursts of rumbling sounds, firelights and billowing fire. Smoke?
This entire large fortress military camp, with at least thousands or even tens of thousands of troops stationed there, seems to be being raided by the enemy, and they have already been attacked inside?
'...'
'There she is! '
'quick! Come and gather here and form an array! ! '
'Noxian soldiers, form up! Guns and shields in front, swords behind, muskets and archers at the ready! ! '
'quick! quick! This way! Surround her and make sure not to let that bitch escape! ! '
'you! You, and you, go and drag those crossbows over to me! ! '
'...'
'asshole! Damn Ionian freaks! ! '
'All the spearmen, please give me the order: form your formation, all move forward! Catch her! ! '
Finally, groups of Noxian soldiers wearing black armor, holding thick and ferocious shields and tough steel spears formed a neat formation and attacked a certain Vastaya woman who had broken into the fortress barracks. When the group was surrounded in the middle of a long forest of guns, the man on horseback supervising the battle on the outside seemed to be a fortress general or a general of the Noxian army, and he angrily faced those who had been prepared. The soldiers shouted loudly.
I don’t know why today, but the madman-like monster suddenly appeared in front of me in the north. The opponent used magic to attack their Noxian army crazily, and went on a rampage, not only killing at least hundreds of their guards, but also Use another kind of terrifying magic to turn about a dozen unlucky guys into terrifying mummies?
Therefore, as the general of this fortress military camp, he swore that when he caught the other party, he would definitely make that female bitch regret being an enemy of Noxus! !
"Ah hey~!"
"So many living lives, so many interesting souls...it's really tempting!"
"So……"
I saw groups of Noxian garrison soldiers shouting slogans and marching in neat steps, their armors clanging, their combat boots trampling bursts of dust on the dry ground, and a mountain of guns pressing towards me in the middle. Coming over, Ahri not only showed no trace of fear, but smiled coquettishly and placed the hand valve on the head of a Noxian officer who was bewildered by her and knelt slumped in front of her.
The next second,
Something happened that horrified countless Noxians: the tall, powerful general actually allowed the other party to cast a spell on his head with a silly smile on his face, directly in the short space of time. With just one breath, he was sucked into a mummy?
"Hey......"
"You guys, do you want to come and play with Ahri?"
Although absorbing the other party's life and essence was not the conventional way of 'eating', after absorbing all the other party's life essence and soul, Ahri still subconsciously licked her own white and pure body. His slender fingers, which were not stained by a trace of dust, winked at the strong soldiers.
Because of the surge in energy, the bloodthirsty desire in his heart became stronger and stronger, and it was infinitely amplified. Of course, Ahri found this Noxian military camp today... Because here is the delicious 'food' she needs, the almost endless life essence and a large number of strong souls!
'Asshole, how dare she...'
'Noxian soldiers, attack! '
'Go forward and chop off her head right away! ! ! '
Seeing that the other party openly used weird and evil spells to kill one of his generals in front of him, the fortress commander who was riding on a horse and commanding him immediately became vicious and violent while shaking with anger. He pointed his horsewhip forward and gave the order to kill the enemy.
Clang! Clang!
'drink! ! '
'kill! kill! kill! '
'Noxus! Fight to the death! ! '
As the final order was issued, the Noxian spearmen finally raised their spears horizontally, formed a neat formation, shouted loud slogans, and rushed towards the enemy in front...
